How to Tie the Non-Slip Loop Knot
- Tie a loose overhand knot in the line, leaving a long tag end.
- Pass the tag end through the hook eye and back through the overhand knot.
- Wrap the tag end around the standing line 3-5 times (fewer wraps for heavier line).
- Pass the tag end back through the overhand knot (same side it exited).
- Moisten and pull to tighten. Trim the tag end.
Pros
- Allows lure to move freely for better action
- Strong and reliable loop connection
- Loop size is adjustable before final tightening
Cons
- Slightly more complex than a simple clinch knot
- Not as strong as a snug-to-eye knot
Best Used For
Attaching lures, jigs, and flies where a free-swinging connection is desired for more natural presentation.
